* lib/perl.c: Use snprintf instead of asprintf.
* doc/hook-python, doc/pod/hook-python.pod: Use initial capital
letters for head titles.
* NEWS, doc/pod/news.pod, lib/perl.c: Fixed a hang in Perl hooks on
(at least) HP/PA since Perl 5.10. On such architectures,
pthread_mutex_lock() hangs inside perl_parse() if
PERL_SYS_INIT3() hasn't been called.
Also rewrite "do" and "eval" calls to use perl_eval_pv().

to it. Thanks to Russ Allbery for the patch.

* innd/python.c: Better be more careful when decrementing the
reference count for these objects.

by Geraint Edwards: * an off-by-one error on the limit to the
amount of articles to get; * when an article is not available, we
may have redundantly retried that article.

doc/pod/hook-python.pod, innd/innd.c, innd/innd.h,
samples/filter_innd.py: Add access to several new headers within
Perl and Python hooks for innd. Thanks to Matija Nalis for the
patch.
Also update the POD documentation and the Python sample.
* doc/man/pullnews.1, doc/pod/pullnews.pod, frontends/pullnews.in:
A new improved version of pullnews. Great thanks to Geraint A.
Edwards for all his work. He added no more than 16 flags, fixed
some bugs and integrated the backupfeed contrib script by Kai
Henningsen, adding again 6 other flags.
A long-standing but very minor bug in the -g option was
especially fixed and items from the to-do list implemented.
From TODO:
+ reset highwater mark to match server (-w) + reset highwater
mark to zero (also -w) + add group to config (-G) + drop articles
with headers matching (or not matching) regexp (-m)
From backupfeed:
+ pull only a proportion (factor) of articles (-f) + sleeps
between articles/groups (-z/-Z) + Path: fake hop insert (-F) +
NNTP connection timeout (-N) + overall session timeout (-S)
Other new flags/features:
-l logfile log to logfile (rather than /dev/null when rnews'ing!)
-s host:port add local port option (can use -p already) -t
retries attempt connect to upstream retries times -T retry_pause
wait between retries -k checkpt checkpoint the config file every
checkpt arts -C width when writing the progress bar - use width
columns -d debug_level self-explanatory -M max_arts only process
max_arts articles per run -H headers remove these headers from
articles -Q quietness set how quiet we are -R be a reader -n
no-op -P paths feed articles depending on number of hops in Path:

* control/modules/newgroup.pl: Fix a Perl warning.
2008-05-24 iulius
* nnrpd/tls.c: When an article of a size greater than remaining
stack is retrieved via SSL, a segmentation fault will occur due
to the use of alloca(). The below patch uses heap based realloc()
instead of stack based alloca(), with a static buffer growing as
needed. It uses realloc() instead of malloc() for performance
reasons since this function is called frequently. The caveat is
that the memory is never free()'ed, so if more correct code is
desired, it should be adjusted.
Thanks to Chris Caputo for this patch.
2008-05-19 iulius
* innd/Makefile, nnrpd/line.c: Implementation of the "alarm signal"
around SSL_read so that to prevent dead connections from leading
nnrpd processes to wait forever in SSL_read(). "clienttimeout"
now also works on SSL connections.
Thanks to Matija Nalis for the patch.
* nnrpd/tls.c: Implementation on systems that support it of
SO_KEEPALIVE in SSL TCP connections, allowing system detection
and closing the dead TCP SSL connections automatically after
system-specified time (usually at least 2 hours as recommended by
RFC (on Linux, see /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_*).
Thanks to Matija Nalis for the patch.
2008-05-18 iulius
* innfeed/host.c: Fix a problem of undefined constant.
2008-05-14 iulius
* innfeed/host.c: Fix a bug in ipAddrs which contained thrice the
same IPs. Rotating the peer IP addresses was a bit slower than it
could be.
Thanks, D. Stussy, for having seen that. Miquel van Smoorenburg
provided the patch.
* Makefile.global.in: Bump the revision number to 2.4.5 (in case it
is released one day).
